How can a tutor help

Taking the PSAT, also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT), helps students practice for the SAT. The PSAT is offered multiple ways. The PSAT/NMSQT is taken in the Fall of 10th or 11th grade and is similar to the original test. The PSAT 10, which can't be used for scholarships, is taken in the spring of 10th grade.

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

"Today, the student and I went through the math section of the practice ACT he took last week. We discovered he was having problems involving rules of triangles and trigonometry. I went through these problems with him and am providing a few information sheets for him to review. He scored higher than his previous tests. After going through the math section, we then went quickly through the reading passages he had for homework. For homework he is to read the pages in our prep book about the writing portion of the test, and complete two timed writing prompts."

"The student and I had another great session today. She spent the first 30 minutes writing a practice essay, which I reviewed with her afterward. I believe she is capable of writing a score 6 essay. After that, she worked through three English passages, getting 45 out of 45 questions correct. We finished by working through three science passages."

"Yesterday, the student and I worked on a geometry and an algebra section of her textbook. We also spent some time reviewing geometry rules and formulas that she will need to know for the test. For example, we reviewed the volume of a pyramid, special right triangles, parallel lines etc. I left her with some geometry review problems for next time."

"Covered ACT science section from previous session. Identified key strategies such as ordering the passages and looking for trends. We have been discussing strategies for coping with anxiety."

"The student completed critical reading pages 53-62 and sentence completions on 130-131. We did math 293 and 297 (negatives and divisibility) and writing 128-137 (pronoun in the wrong case in compound noun phrases, pronoun shift, pronoun w/ambiguous reference, faulty comparison, misuse of adjective and adverb, and double negatives). We also did a practice IDing errors quiz. She did a practice essay and compared it to a sample essay with a score of 6. We worked on coming up with vocab words to strengthen her essays. I asked her to complete writing 469, math 463, and an essay for next time."

"We did a 45-minute diagnostic test and it went pretty well. The student did exceedingly well on the verbal, to my excitement. She had a bit more trouble on math though, so on Thursday we will attack that in force."
